  3. Rare Tonewood: "The Tree" is a legendary mahogany tree found in the Chiquibul Forest of Belize, celebrated for its unique, intense figuring

  4. Might be mahogany, although the quilt is a bit large, certainly looks like Quilted Big Leaf Maple with a light stain. The figure is most certainly NOT AI- it really does look like this.

  6. Wood from The Tree does not come up for sale often and commercial supplies are currently exhausted. When builders come across it, they tend to hold onto it zealously—leading to the supply shortage and high demand. By our estimate there are likely 100 to 200 sets of tonewood from The Tree remaining in the world.
